KOTOR II - 52 hours over about 3 weeks
What did you think of it?
Burnout 3 - one of the best racing games of all time. My gf and I would take turns, which was a lot of fun. My copy (PS2) was buggy, though, as one track would freeze almost every time I crashed in it. I turned off that damn Stryker guy about 5 hours in.
KOTOR II - the first game was one of my favorites of all time. This had many of the same problems (backtracking, lots of loading, stiff graphics), but the story was great. It had me pondering everyone's motivation and fate the whole way through, and was impossible to put down near the end. The bummer is I didn't think there was enough payoff at the end -- though I won't say any more. It too was buggy -- like showing you standing there before going to a cutscene.
And what did you do with it afterwards?
They've both been taken off my 25 game playing-or-most-likely-to-play shelf and relegated
to my 200 may-play shelf. I won't be getting rid of either one.
As for me personally, I think I'll chill with a time-killing game for a while, though my pile is large (Jade Empire, God of War), so I can concentrate on getting into better shape for my September wedding. Plus, E3 is going to dominate my life for the next week and a half.
